Working on the back of the tailcone.

There are a lot of plates and supports that get riveted to the back of the tailcone. Here I am just lining things up.

This plate is a support for the tailwheel. There's also a 1/4 inch piece of aluminum that goes on top of this. Notice the one extra hole? Don't ask me how I drilled it there. (the one in the center is suppose to be there and will actually get drilled out to 9/16". The other hole gets covered up anyway...it's a...um...lightening hole!!)
